Sound & Tone
The active EMG-81 in the bridge gives a tight, aggressive attack with high output and a low noise floor, cutting cleanly through heavy gain for palm-muted riffing and lead work, while the EMG-85 in the neck fills out with a rounder, thicker voice for solos and cleaner passages. Mahogany with an arched top and a set neck adds weight to the low end and sustain, and the 25.5" scale keeps string tension firm for defined low notes and articulate tracking under distortion. It's built for rock and metal, and the thin 'C' neck with 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius supports fast, technical playing up to the highest positions.
Schecter Damien Platinum-6 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Damien Platinum-6 Left-Handed is engineered for studio tracking and live performance with a thin 'C' neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale that cuts through mixes with clarity and articulation. The mahogany body with arched top and multi-ply binding delivers punchy midrange tones with natural sustain, while the satin black finish resists fingerprints during long recording and rehearsal sessions. This left-handed configuration provides full ergonomic access for southpaw producers and engineers seeking a professionally-voiced instrument with session-ready reliability.
Playability & Recording Ergonomics
The set-neck design with ultra access cutaway allows comfortable reach to upper frets for overdubs and lead passes, while the thin 'C' neck profile (measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth) suits both aggressive tracking and extended studio sessions without hand fatigue. The 14" fretboard radius and 24 X-Jumbo frets respond consistently across the rosewood fingerboard, anchored by a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width and stabilized by a 2-way adjustable truss rod for intonation stability during production.
Tone & Active Electronics
Active EMG-81 bridge and EMG-85 neck humbuckers capture articulate, high-output tones with minimal noise—essential for layering guitars in dense mixes without phase issues or unwanted hum. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers both pickups consistently across recording sessions, while the volume/tone/3-way switch configuration provides straightforward control for dialing in your part's sonic footprint in the mix.
